Miami Florida at Virginia Tech

Both of these teams have storied pasts filled with glory, but they have each stepped aside from the spotlight as the programs try to get back to the level they once were. This becomes a big game from the standpoint that each are 1-2 in conference play, but trail by just a single game. The winner will be right in the race, while the loser may very well fall out of the race all together. I expect a physical game because of the impact and that usually means defense. As usual,  Virginia Tech has defended well and has not allowed more than 28 points to anyone all season, including Ohio State, East Carolina as well as Georgia Tech. Miami has been limited on the road offensively where they have scored just 20 points per game on the season. Both of these teams have brought the "D" under the Thursday night spotlight with Miami at 12-5 to the UNDER, and the Hokies at 17-4 to the UNDER on Thursday Night contests. This one stays UNDER.
